| − | Basic tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in mid-1995 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It was included as the third track on a July 1995, configuration of [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]], and as the fourth track on another 1995 configuration. The released version contains a drum pattern during the chorus that is sampled directly from [[Ain’t No Place Like U]], which was not included on an earlier, unreleased version of the song. The song contains some lyrical and musical similarities to [[Slave 2 The System]], but the two are otherwise different songs. | + | Basic tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in mid-1995 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
